I found a couple buried weak layers made up of sugary faceted snow. The old December facets are still dry and loose and haven't gained much strength. The snow directly under the prominent, translucent 1/27 rain-crust is now small facets, and it is of particular concern, since it's generally less than two feet deep.

Fine deep powder riding and skiing conditions. Slight wind-crust on the surface in exposed terrain in the afternoon.
